Rod Steel and Dallas both said this week. Bond holders to get liquid tomorrow at least 1% or more. Tier 4 within 24-48 hours after. 1.23.24
Adding to the conversation – our friend Mr Salvage has listened to an audio (in Spanish) and informs us that as of today, Columbia has received funds – liquid, spendable funds. I’m sharing the audio in case any of our Spanish speaking family wishes to listen and share further details to help the rest of the family understand. He’s very excited that funds have been released, giving evidence that things are really happening.
Iraqi-international coordination to begin implementing the “electric bus” in Baghdad
The Ministry of Transport has begun activating the electric bus project in Baghdad, as part of its plan to reduce traffic congestion, in coordination with the World Bank.
Director of the Ministry's Media Office, Maytham Al-Safi, explained, "The Ministry seeks to restart mass transportation projects in the capital, Baghdad, as it serves many segments of people with limited income, in addition to reducing the traffic congestion that the city witnesses on a daily basis and the environmentally polluting emissions it produces."
He pointed to "coordination in this regard with the World Bank to implement the electric bus project, or the so-called (Baghdad Bus Project), to provide support to the Ministry of Transport, specifically the General Company for Passenger Transport, for the purpose of purchasing modern electric buses that transport citizens within the capital."
He noted "the identification of mass transportation routes in Baghdad and the modern mechanisms included in the project, as well as the preparation of comprehensive studies and the employment of available resources to make the work successful in it, as well as setting a time frame for its launch," pointing out that "the project will not be limited to the capital and will include a number of governorates, Including the governorates of Dhi Qar, Salah al-Din, and Anbar, provided that its activation in the rest of the governorates will be studied successively.”
Al-Safi stated, “The Ministry has begun implementing mass transportation plans, by sending red buses to operate on the main streets in Baghdad and the governorates and determining their routes, in addition to organizing the work of public transportation garages and introducing the latest electronic systems to follow up on violations within them, in addition to rehabilitating a large number of them.” link

Coffee with MarkZ and Andy Schectman. 01/24/2024
Member: Good morning Everybody! Will MarkZ have exciting news for us this morning?
Member: Rod Steele posted last night that his bond contacts are expected to be paid today and we are expected to get notifications Friday morning.
MZ: That is definitely the rumors running around. . Let’s see if it pans out or not.
Member: I do hope this one time he is correct. Bond people have been hopeful for years.
MZ: My bond folks have not been paid yet but they have great expectations for the 24th. They have been saying this for a couple weeks. I know a number of them expected payments 2 days ago and have not received it yet. But they are receiving a number of assurances. And yes…a number of them are now under NDA’s.
MZ: Yes I am hearing from some that they are expecting notifications this Friday/Saturday. I hope they are right.
Member: What is to keep the US Treasury from keeping the delay of their approval of this going?
MZ: I believe Iraq will be going no matter what. They are painting the US and Central banks into a corner to force them to let it go. And we know the world is lined up and waiting for this. It is inevitable.
MZ: Right now we are watching an implosion in China. “Trade settlement in Chinese RMD (Renminbi) soars 600%”
MZ: “China moves to boost bank lending in broad effort to prop up growth” How? They want to remove the Basel requirements. China is on the ropes and needs an asset backed reset.
MZ: “ South Africa will favor the development of the Africa Continental Free Trade area within the BRICS framework” What they are working on is a free trade zone and economic cooperation within all the African Continent nations.
MZ: Why is this important? Because they are doing this within the BRICS framework. Africa is one of the wealthiest continents in the world for natural resources. And they are doing this within the BRICS framework…or outside Western banking. So this will have a huge impact economically.
Member: Do you think it is still possible that things go this month?
MZ: I think it’s possible. I am hopeful we will at least get announcements this month …even if we have not yet made it into the banks.
Member: What’s the impact of Iraq joining the Bank of international Settlements?
MZ: I guess you are referring to last night podcast. It’s their acceptance and elevation to the World Trade Organization and all the other organizations they were removed from when they were sanctioned many years ago. These sanctions are quickly al going away which means they will be able to reinstate or revalue their currency.
MZ: It is just one more clear indicator of how close we are getting.
Member: If Iraq central bank is now listed on BIS website. Makes them OK for International transactions.
Thanks Mark and Andy…..Hope everyone has a great day today.
